FORT WORTH, TX  – Allied Electronics & Automation has been recognized for its sales performance by Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions, winning the award for “Greatest % of POS growth for 2017.” The award was presented to Allied at the Honeywell SPS Growth event recently held in Dallas, Texas.   

MILPITAS, CA — SEMI, the industry association representing the global electronics manufacturing supply chain, and TechSearch International today reported that the global semiconductor packaging materials market reached $16.7 billion in 2017. While slower growth of smartphones and personal computers – the industry’s traditional drivers – is reducing material consumption, the slowdown was offset by strong unit growth in the cryptocurrency market in 2017 and early 2018. Flip chip package shipments into the cryptocurrency market, while providing a windfall to many suppliers, are not expected to remain at high levels.
